For the record Arnulf forgot that the Board meeting starts at 8am at the
same location, discussing of course the exact topics that he mentioned
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2014-09-13). But please don't
let me hinder your energy, definitely tackle the areas that need love
(reviving the marketting committee, picking your favorite project in
incubation and give some nudges...lots to do!)
Thanks, see you early at the sprint.
PS. the Board meeting, and any Board meeting, is open to anyone and
everyone.

Folks,
if anybody indicates interest in hacking OSGeo at the code sprint in
Portland tomorrow please answer.
In past years we have brain stormed around Marketing, Sponsorship,
Education, Data (specifically how OSGeo can support the Open Data
model) and so on. It is a aunique opportunity to evolve OSGeo as an
organization and I would be happy to contribute to anything you might
want to achieve for within and around OSGeo as an organization.
This can also include how (or rather if at all) OSGeo manages FOSS4G.
In my experience the day directly after the event is the best time to
actually do this, impressions are still fresh and lots of ideas have
popped up. If we do not invest some time into realizing them we are
not going to get anywhere. So if you think OSGeo needs a push in a
certain direction, join. There will be representatives from the board
of directors, the president (I guess you are there Jeff, right?) and
other folks in key roles. It is probably the only time in the year
when you will get so many bright OSGeo folks in one place.
Here is a link to drop your ideas. Its a Wiki, just go hack it as you
like:

Cheers,
Arnulf
